"Hey, why is everyone leaving me behind?" Verity asked. She said reassuringly, "I'm fine."
When she moved to take a simple step she grimaced in pain and everyone saw. They muttered amongst themselves and Zyra threw her hands up in the air. She really wasn't in the mood to deal with Verity and her theatrics so early in the morning. It was Kaizen who put his foot down.
"No you're not,'' said Kaizen. "Look Verity, you are one of the best fighters on the team, no one is denying that. Just give your leg more time to heal as it is more beneficial to the team when you are in your prime. Then you can return to the field but for now Kit will be doing the runs in your place while you are on lockdown."
"I agree with Kaizen," Nyla said placatingly.
